Eva’s Byte #529 – Channeling the Seventies
“Can you dig it?”
“Chill out!”
“Keep on truckin’!
“Catch you on the flip side.”
My Contemporary work in progress makes its debut in 1978. The time stamp rules out having to contend with advanced technology. This means I can devote more time to delving into the intricacies of nefarious activities my characters are engaged in without interference from smartphones.
Also, working in my favor, forensic DNA analysis was first used in 1984. This allows my characters plenty of leeway to get away with “things”.
In the capacity of a writer, I’m grateful for drafting my novel using Microsoft Word rather than a manual or electric typewriter, the standard contraption during the Seventies.
During my college years of 1969-1973, a Smith-Corona Selectric was my workhorse.
Correcting typos was a lot more tedious back then. If Wite-Out didn’t cut it, one resorted to tearing the page from the “platen,” located on the carriage of the typewriter.
At this point in time, I finished drafting chapter 17 at 1246 words. Chapter 18 has progressed to 570 words.
*May each of us keep on truckin’.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
